With how the economic situation of the country is, a lot of people are being overwhelmed physically, emotionally, mentally and psychologically. Getting through the day takes some serious work for an average individual.

How do you cope with life when it becomes too rough and tough?

When life feels overwhelming, I try to separate what’s urgent from what’s just loud. A lot of stress comes from treating every problem like it needs an immediate solution, when most don’t.
I’ll usually pick one small, concrete task I can finish quickly. That gives me a sense of progress, and things start to feel less tangled. Then I step away from screens for a bit, because constant input tends to amplify pressure more than solve it.
